Okay, ever since I've updated to 5.xx, I noticed that whenever I try to open an ebook while calibre is closed, it will then automatically open calibre and add said book to the database.

This has not happened before and I'd like to know if there's a way for me to be able to open ebook without starting calibre and adding said ebook into the database, like an independent ebook reader. I saw a post sometime back with a similar issue but the solution was for mac, so I'd like to know if there's a way to fix it for windows.

I have checked preferences of book calibre and the ebook reader and not found anything that made adding and force opening calibre a thing for the ebook viewer.
